Non-UNM Students 

The Graduate Certificate Program in Chicana and Chicano Studies is a “stand-alone” program. Non-UNM students, whether in state or out of state and who have a BA degree, may apply to this program. All required courses from the Graduate Certificate Program that are completed satisfactorily may transfer into the Chicana and Chicano Studies MA and PhD Programs.  

UNM Graduate Students
